A new start

Last year around this time I wrote a post about how much I didn't care about New Year Eve or anything related. Back in hindsight, I see that it was just the start of a change, this last year has been a year of changes in my life, and they were for good.

Right now I've got the feeling that next year is going to be a really good year, it's not that I want it to be is that I feel like this and, as a friend told me the other day, I'm a witch. I can't really tell why it is going to be a good year but I do feel that awesome things are waiting for me. Also I hope I get to write a bit more in here because lately I've been way too busy.

Well, happy new year everybody! Have fun tonight!

A matter of weight

When I was a little kid I was what must have been the most spoiled kid in the world, specially when it came to food. I wouldn't eat anything I didn't like, and some days anything in general. As I got older, though, I ended up becoming, as grandmas say it, a "healthy looking girl", for the kids my age I was plainly fat. Of course I wasn't obese I just was more "round" than the other girls in my class (who were all skinny). I hit puberty a bit late, so for the first years of high school my body still looked like that of a little girl. Eventually I ended up becoming a curvy woman, although it took me some time to get used to it. Finally I ended up being plainly overweight, at first it wasn't much, and when I went to Montréal I did lose some weight, returning to a more healthy weight, but after it came back my weight went up to unhealthy levels again. I'd always said that I had to do something about it, but I never did.

Until June this year this is, from June on I have reduced my intake of unhealthy food to the minimum as well as the rations I used to eat. I have also started sleeping more and walking/running. So, now, after almost 6 months I'm back again to a healthy weight and feeling better than ever only by losing 9 kilos. I'm still a bit self conscious since I'm still 4 kilos away from what would be my ideal weight, but the main part has already been done and I'm happy for it. I know that the hardest part is always not gaining weight again, but I'm confident I'll be able to stay as I am for some time. I don't really know what was different this year from the other times I've thought about losing weight, but I'm happy I have succeeded.
